Luggage Dilemmas

We are still waiting to hear about Hoss's luggage,  and we believe it is still in Guangzhou, China.  The Chinese do not like when batteries are packed in luggage, and Hoss had packed up a few double A batteries that would be used for our camera.  We had to write an affidavit giving the Chinese permission to remove the batteries.  Weird thing is, is that I carried my camera with 4 batteries onto the plane, and no one said a word!  Michael, the young man we bought the camper van from, said his luggage was lost a while back, and it took 2 weeks before he got it!  We still have our fingers crossed that we eventually get it.  All we can do is keep checking, and wait.
